The purpose of this book is to take rhythmic figures, originally learned on the snare drum, and apply them to the drumset. In doing this, the student is introduced to several cross sticking and drum-to-drum patterns using eighth, triplet and sixteenth notes. This approach to the drumset is an excellent way to develop the coordination and speed of getting around the drums with ease, while also helping with soloing.

Polyrhythmic Studies for Snare Drum is a compilation of 35 etudes and 26 solos for intermediate and advanced levels. It is designed to encompass several phases of music for the snare drum as well as to develop the minds and hands to perform both common and uncommon meters. The first section of the book contains an analysis of polyrhythms and abnormal groups; if studied carefully, this section will help in building a solid foundation of understanding so that polyrhythmic and odd group figures may be executed with little difficulty.
